Ford has a new Super Duty model for 2018, and it's one of the toughest yet, partly due to some improved durability features.

This model has an aluminum alloy body that weighs much less than previous models, but that feature actually makes the truck stronger. The body is high strength and military grade, which no other truck in this full-size class has. Something else this feature gives the vehicle is resistance to dings, dents and red rust corrosion. Super Duty's frame and axles are stronger than ever, which means your truck has the superior hauling capability.

Power and comfort is what you can expect when you get behind the wheel of the Ford Taurus, a popular mid-size sedan that has been faithfully delivering all the performance you need in an affordable package since its beginning.

Driving assists like the Torque Vectoring Control and Curve Control give the driver added assistance when negotiating curves. Additional braking is applied to the front inside wheel, which in turn allows more torque to go to the outside wheel for more control around the curve. The electric Powered-Assisted Steering features an electric motor that helps...

When it comes to car warranties, you may have heard mention of a couple different types of them. Sometimes a car has a powertrain warranty, and sometimes a bumper-to-bumper warranty is offered. What is a powertrain warranty?

A powertrain warranty covers all of the components that are part of a car's propulsion system. This includes the engine, transmission, and other related components like a differential gearbox. Anything that's required for the car to generate motion is covered by this type of warranty. This is different from a bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers all the parts...

The integrity of intake manifold gaskets is extremely important. Thee gaskets are made up of a plastic and rubber alloy designed to take extreme heat. Eventually, even these seals will fail due to the rotation of heat and cold that causes molecular breakdowns.

The intake manifold carries coolant fluid to the cylinder heads, reducing the heat levels. A leak in an intake manifold gasket allows air and coolant fluid into the combustion chamber. While the air burns during the combustion process, small amounts of coolant travel down the piston and into the engine block to mix with the engine oil…

Many factors can cause a car battery to fail prematurely. A battery includes corrosive acids that can eat through a battery whose structure is compromised by a sudden impact. A pole, whether negative or positive, may be damaged internally. The battery may overheat and evaporate water. The most common reason for premature failure of a car battery is the human factor.

Car batteries need maintenance. A periodic check of the batteries water level can save you a lot of headache down the road. Corrosion builds around the terminals causing power to leak from the battery.

It is important to have a firm understanding of how the different parts of your vehicle work. Having this knowledge will better equip you for the task of keeping it working as it should. The differential of your vehicle is a component that is vital to keeping your vehicle moving.

The differential is the gearbox that lies between the wheels on your drive axle. Along with the transmission, they deliver the power from the engine that actually turns the axle and moves your car. The differential also makes your vehicle more controllable during turns. The lubricating fluid that protects...

When you think of vehicle maintenance, oil changes and brake pad inspections probably come to mind. What about a transfer case service? The transfer case is often overlooked when it comes to preventative maintenance, even though when neglected it can cause some serious problems.

Every four-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive vehicle has a transfer case. The transfer case's main purpose is to distribute power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. It allows a vehicle to operate in lower gears at varying speeds.

If you are looking for an accurate estimate of how often you need to change your oil based on the model you drive and your driving habits, then simply look it up in your car's owner's manual. If you are interested in a more reliable method instead of an estimate, then get under the hood and check…
